*suuuuuuuuu* *fuuuuuuu*
(Will) “well……… fuck.”
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Nobody moved…….. We all just stared down the beast for what seemed like an eternity, but couldn’t have been more than a minute. The beast just looked at us as if looking at a bunch of cornered mice.
The……….. monster…. Had the blackest fur, darker than the night….. It may be described by other people as a black bipedal wolf…… but all I could see………. was the shadow of death himself…… I didn’t dare to even speak.
*puh*
*Puh* *puh* *ptetetetete* *puh*
As well trained as they are…… one of my men couldn’t take it anymore and openly fired, causing a domino effect of gunfire……..
Before we knew what happened, there was blood flying through the air…… but not the beast’s blood….. Not with our meager weapons.
*gyaaaaaaaaaaah!*
Cole started to scream in agony……. His arm….. Nowhere to be found…. The “wolf,” however, could be found standing directly in front of Sam, its arm erect above its head……. And then it came crashing down…… directly crushing Sam……
Her body exploded into a bloody pulp…… bits of her flesh scattering through the air…. Her blood now staining everything.
Before we could wake up from our shock, the beast was already beside another of my comrades….. he brought his arm down yet again, this time choosing to bisect its target. The beast vanished yet again……
It lunged towards Chris, latching onto his head with its jaw…….. on his face…. The utter look of despair. The beast flung its head back and forth, with Chris’s body flailing through the air. The beast bit his head off, consuming it whole; sending his body flying.
This time when the beast disappeared, it didn’t reappear. Every few seconds someone else would either explode into a gory mess, or be cut into pieces.

Throughout this entire ordeal I could only watch on, mouth agape, as my comrades died one by one.
When I finally regained my senses, there was nobody around me….. Only a big gory mess…. And a beast standing directly in front of me. It stared at me……. Its eyes showing nothing but contempt.
I closed my eyes, and waited for death to seize me…. But it never came. Curious, I opened my eyes. No longer was I surrounded by death……. What replaced the red floors and the creature from hell….. was a room with white walls, like a scene from heaven. It was Noah’s room.
(Will) “How did I ge…… NOAH!”
Realizing the reason for my being here, I quickly rushed out of the room and straight towards father’s room.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Of the 30 cleaners, only 20 remained. When I told father what happened, we set out to retrieve my brother. Of course when I say we, I really mean my father, a squad of cleaners and I. because small arms didn’t work, my father decided to take out the only grenade launcher we had which only had three rounds remaining. We only brought 4 cleaners because if we took anymore there would be a lack of protection at the compound.
When we arrived at the scene of the carnage, there was no one there. I frantically started looking for any signs of my brother and the other two that were with him, however, the only thing I found was a knife…… the one Noah uses…..
Noah………………… what happened to you? My eyes started to moisten. I don’t know if it was in fear of losing another family member……. Or if it was because deep down…. I already expect that I’ve lost him. I started cry.
Surprisingly I didn’t feel any hatred for the monster that did this; I mean I should, but I only felt hatred for myself. Hatred of how weak I was.
I couldn’t prevent this because I was weak, because I didn’t have enough power……..
And in this world…… power is all that matters...

8 137The watcher of universe and stuff.
The most devastating thing to an eternal being must be boredom. If nothing can change you, how can you yourself change? Sometimes you have to learn that the hard way. I should point out that there are multiple lead characters and they will all have their own personalities and motivations. While the story will focus more on our MC Trey, you can expect multiple POV switches. If you do not like POV switches, this might not be for you. My first book. If anyone will ever read this, be so kind as to leave a comment. Even, if all you say is an insult. As long as I can improve this work by your comment, it's all fine. One thing’s for sure. I will keep writing as if my reader can handle curse words without curling into a little ball and repeatedly saying: "Leave my safe-space alone, you monster". Therefore, you can expect some profanity.
